Mystery: Lucky

Chapter 12 Chapter12



Alice finally came to the underground market.

After passing through the Dragon Bar and entering the secret door with their noses covered, they passed through several rooms before they saw the legendary underground market.

Some people set up stalls here, some asked for prices, and some walked through them to find items they were interested in.

Alice was following Leonard with interest, listening to Leonard introduce the rules here to her.

"One twentieth of all the proceeds should be given to Swain, who is the owner of the Dragon Bar and the captain of the previous generation of the Punisher Squad. In addition, if you don't have enough money, you can also go to Swain to borrow, but..."

He paused, and Alice naturally realized the following words: "He also borrowed usury?"

"Obviously." Leonard agreed with Alice's words.

"The stalls here..." Alice was about to say something, but suddenly stopped. She heard a vague whisper. She subconsciously turned her head and saw a pale, shabby young man in the corner, staring at her absent-mindedly, with blood in his eyes.

Alice's mind moved, and she realized that this might be the unlucky monster. She stopped and turned to walk towards the man.

The man's eyes were sluggish, but his sight moved with Alice's movement until Alice stood in front of him.

Alice looked at him, and he seemed to be distracted by something. He just stared at her, and seemed to be staring at something through her. Alice had no doubt that if no one reminded him, he would stand here and become a statue.

"What did you see?" Alice looked at the eyes that seemed to be on her but not on her, and asked softly.

"... I forgot." The man made a slow and gentle voice, as if he was afraid of alarming something, and his eyes were still fixed on Alice, but Alice had an inexplicable feeling in her heart-this man was definitely not looking at her.

"Why did you forget?" Alice still asked patiently. She had a hunch that this man must have seen some key information in her, but she couldn't turn her eyes to herself-looking in the mirror is not looking at herself.

"..." The man remained silent for a long time until Alice gradually lost her patience and considered whether to leave here and look somewhere else, then she heard his voice, "Because of chaos."

Because of chaos? What does that mean? Alice wanted to ask, but the man had already looked away, his eyes were scattered but his attitude was firm as he walked away. Alice stood there and watched him until he disappeared from her sight, without looking back.

Monster. For the first time, Alice paid attention to this word, or this path, this sequence, and she began to hesitate whether to find a superhuman on the same path to see herself.

"If I want to find a superhuman on the monster path, where should I go?" Alice looked at Leonard, who might know about this.

"The School of Life, the beginning of this path is only in the School of Life." Leonard frowned and answered her, "Do you want to...?"

"I want to know what they can see in me." Alice left a sentence that could not be heard emotionally, and then strolled in front of the vendors as if nothing had happened.

Life School... Alice slowly recalled the information about this organization.

This secret organization appeared in the early days of this era. The specific origin is unknown, and it is mainly passed down from master to apprentice.

Their specific theories and beliefs are also rarely passed on. Alice only knows that they divide the world into three layers: the world of absolute rationality, also known as the world of absolute truth; the world of spirits; the material world.

Alice remembered that there was also a prophet in this organization. Prophet... This name reminded Alice of the ability of monsters. Thinking of the three sequences that seemed to have no connection at present, she suddenly realized something: "Generally speaking, will there be a situation where the abilities of the sequences in a path are unrelated?"

"Generally speaking, the abilities of the sequences in the same path are progressive." Leonard gave the answer, "But according to the captain, Ms. Daly gave a guess that in addition to the conventional progressive sequence, there may be a situation where a sequence has an ability and then combines it in a certain sequence."

"...Sequence four?" Alice naturally thought of sequence four, the starting point of the high sequence, and also the beginning of the change in the essence of life.

Leonard nodded.

Alice remembered this thoughtfully, and then asked him: "Don't you have anything else to do?"

"...I was here only once yesterday." The implication was that she really didn't.

Alice didn't say anything, just stood there and stared at Leonard, as if she was playing a game of who could stare the biggest, so Leonard couldn't stand it anymore: "...You go shopping by yourself for a while."

Watching Leonard leave the area, Alice began to wander around the underground market alone.

Alice stopped in front of a stall selling amulets. Amulets with certain effects, in this underground trading market full of fakes, even if the effect is very weak, are conspicuous enough in Alice's spirituality.

Alice squatted down and picked out two amulets that emitted a faint glow from them - these were the only two amulets that were lucky enough to have the correct spells engraved on them.

"Do you want to buy, miss?" The boss got excited when he saw that there was business, "If you buy two together, I can give you a discount, as long as..."

"No," Alice interrupted the boss, and then, in the boss's confused eyes, she picked up another exquisite silver amulet, "I want this one."

Then the boss regained his joyful smile when facing customers: "Oh, this... I made it carefully, it..."

"It's useless at all." Alice interrupted the boss calmly.

"Then why do you want to buy it?" The boss's eyes were full of questions like "Are you here to ruin the show?"

"Well... because it's beautiful." Alice gave her answer without hesitation, "Name a price, don't go by the amulet."

The boss stared at Alice for a while, and he realized that the person in front of him might not just be a fan of mysticism, she had some understanding of mysticism - maybe even a Beyonder.

"3 Soles." This cognition calmed the boss's emotions a lot, and he chose not to go by the standard of the amulet, but the standard quotation of silver jewelry. Of course, he habitually reserved room for bargaining, but...

Alice had no intention of bargaining at all, and directly took out the money and left the stall.
